    Bose isn't the easiest factory to deal with, but I'd reach out to them and tell them what your issue is, and ask them to quote you on repairing them or replacing them. In many cases, they'll offer you a discounted cost on a replacement pair rather than repairing your existing pair. It's usually significantly less than market price.

    Both Bose and Sennheiser both make excellent headphones and offer decent factory support. Bose just thinks way more of themselves than the other headset/headphone companies I've dealt with over the years.

    Do you want wireless or wired? If you're *truly* going for audiophile sound then it's wired all the way.

    Don’t get Beats. I know that much. They fucking suck.

    So was it marketing? That's the one I've heard of and didn't Dre make a billion dollars off them

    I don't do headphones. A phobia of being snuck up on


    White man's been sneakin' up on me for years.

    No one ever tried to repair them?

    What's the problem with your existing?
    They need new foam cups, which I feel fine DYI’ing, but now the rubber is coming off.

    I’ll give it a shot. Can’t hurt to get a quote, right?

    Oddly enough I bought them at Nordstrom’s....🤔 maybe I should test their return policy.

    My ears aren’t that sophisticated, and I like the convenience of Bluetooth.

    It can't hurt. Bose stuff costs real money, and you should get some product support for that. Most people won't take the time to pester Bose or Nordstrom for product support, but if you do take the time, you might get some results.

    For $60K they come and set them up at your house.

    For $60k they better come with 2 hookers and a ton of blow.

    And I better orgasm every time I put them on.
    Pics? Video better.
